Luke 3
1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and Philip his brother tetrarch of Iturea, and the country of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilina;
E no ano quinze do império de Tibério Cesar, sendo Poncio Pilatos presidente da Judeia, Herodes tetrarca da Galiléia, e seu irmão Felipe tetrarca da Iturea e da província de Traconites, e Lysaneas tetrarca da Abylinia,
2 Under the high priests Annas and Caiphas; the word of the Lord was made unto John, the son of Zachary, in the desert.
Sendo Anás e Caiphas sumos sacerdotes, veio no deserto a palavra de Deus a João, filho de Zacarias.
3 And he came into all the country about the Jordan, preaching the baptism of penance for the remission of sins;
E percorreu toda a terra ao redor do Jordão, pregando o batismo de arrependimento, para o perdão dos pecados;
4 As it was written in the book of the sayings of Isaias the prophet: A voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight his paths.
Segundo o que está escrito no livro das palavras do profeta Isaias, que diz: Voz do que clama no deserto: preparai o caminho do Senhor; endireitai as suas veredas.
5 Every valley shall be filled; and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight; and the rough ways plain;
Todo o vale se encherá, e todo o monte e outeiro se abaixará; e os caminhos tortos se endireitarão, e os caminhos escabrosos se aplanarão;
6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
E toda a carne verá a salvação de Deus.
7 He said therefore to the multitudes that went forth to be baptized by him: Ye offspring of vipers, who hath shewed you to flee from the wrath to come?
Dizia pois João à multidão que saía a ser batizada por ele: Raça de víboras, quem vos ensinou a fugir da ira que está para vir?
8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of penance; and do not begin to say, We have Abraham for our father. For I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.
Dai pois frutos dignos de arrependimento, e não comeceis a dizer em vós mesmos: Temos Abraão por pai; porque eu vos digo que até destas pedras pode Deus suscitar filhos a Abraão.
9 For now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that bringeth not forth good fruit, shall be cut down and cast into the fire.
E também já está posto o machado à raiz das árvores; toda a árvore, pois, que não dá bom fruto, corta-se e lança-se no fogo.
10 And the people asked him, saying: What then shall we do?
E a multidão o interrogava, dizendo: Que faremos pois?
11 And he answering, said to them: He that hath two coats, let him give to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do in like manner.
E, respondendo ele, disse-lhes: Quem tiver duas túnicas, reparta com o que não tem, e quem tiver alimentos faça da mesma maneira.
12 And the publicans also came to be baptized, and said to him: Master, what shall we do?
E chegaram também uns publicanos, para serem batizados, e disseram-lhe: Mestre, que devemos fazer?
13 But he said to them: Do nothing more than that which is appointed you.
E ele lhes disse: Não peçais mais do que o que vos está ordenado.
14 And the soldiers also asked him, saying: And what shall we do? And he said to them: Do violence to no man; neither calumniate any man; and be content with your pay.
E uns soldados o interrogaram também, dizendo: E nós que faremos? E ele lhes disse: Não trateis mal, nem defraudeis alguém, e contentai-vos com o vosso soldo.
15 And as the people were of opinion, and all were thinking in their hearts of John, that perhaps he might be the Christ;
E, estando o povo em expectação, e pensando todos de João, em seus corações, se porventura seria o Cristo,
16 John answered, saying unto all: I indeed baptize you with water; but there shall come one mightier that I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to loose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:
Respondeu João a todos, dizendo: Eu, na verdade, batizo-vos com água, mas vem um mais poderoso do que eu, a quem eu não sou digno de desatar a correia das alparcas; esse vos batizará com o Espírito Santo e com fogo.
17 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his barn; but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.
E a sua pá está em sua mão; e limpará a sua eira, e ajuntará o trigo no seu celeiro, porém queimará a palha com fogo que nunca se apaga.
18 And many other things exhorting, did he preach to the people.
E assim, admoestando, muitas outras coisas também anunciava ao povo.
19 But Herod the tetrarch, when he was reproved by him for Herodias, his brother’s wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done;
Sendo, porém, o tetrarca Herodes repreendido por ele por causa de Herodias, mulher de seu irmão Felipe, e por todas as maldades que Herodes tinha feito,
20 He added this also above all, and shut up John in prison.
Acrescentou a todas as outras ainda esta, de encerrar João num cárcere.
21 Now it came to pass, when all the people were baptized, that Jesus also being baptized and praying, heaven was opened;
E aconteceu que, como todo o povo fosse batizado, e sendo batizado também Jesus, e orando, abriu-se o céu,
22 And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape, as a dove upon him; and a voice came from heaven: Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
E o Espírito Santo desceu sobre ele em forma corporea, como uma pomba; e ouviu-se uma voz do céu, que dizia: Tu és o meu filho amado, em ti me tenho comprazido.
